Bleacherreport.com put together 10 trades that would work under the cap, several of which saw the Bucks re-acquiring former players such as Steve Blake, Richard Jefferson, and Mo Williams. Some of the bigger names included were Chris Paul, Ron Artest, Tony Parker and Gerald Wallace. Most of the potential trades involved Jennings, Salmons and Dooling from the Bucks' side. No word on whether any of the teams mentioned actually have an interest in Jennings.

Bucks dump two bad contracts on draft day, sending John Salmons back to Sacramento and Corey Maggette to Charlotte.. they also ship the #10 pick to Sacramento and acquire Stephen Jackson, Shaun Livingston, and Beno Udrih along with Pick #19 (which they use to select Tobias Harris).

Captain Jack will give the team someone willing to take the last shot, something they didn't necessarily have last season (which often led to Brandon Jennings throwing up a desperation heave as the shot clock wound towards zero). Udrih and Livingston provide much better insurance against an injury to Jennings than Keyon Dooling and Earl Boykins did in '10-'11.

Well, it looks like the NBA is back. Arrggghh. Bucks' first order of business will presumably be trying to resign restricted free agent Mbah a boute. Finding a backup center will be on the "to do" list as well.

Ersan Ilyasova's Turkish team doesn't want to let him return this season. He is still under contract to the Bucks. No negotiations have been reported yet between the Bucks and the Turkish team.
